Alexander Schwolow

Alexander Schwolow earns my respect simply for the position he plays. Goalkeeping is the loneliest job in football, where mistakes are magnified and good work goes unnoticed, and I always hold a soft spot for the men who shoulder that pressure. Born in Wiesbaden, the 189 cm German moved through Bundesliga clubs before taking the bold step of joining Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. Choosing to prove yourself in a foreign league shows backbone. The keeper is the unglamorous last line of defense, and the temperament to keep absorbing that weight is, to me, the real mark of class.
